I don’t think it is. I know a few people like this, and im heading in that direction myself. The only kinds of “ads” that work on me are when a number of equally nerdy people I know find a new thing, and they’ve demonstrated that it has helped them with something or they are genuinely enjoying using it. Like 3D printing. Its semi-pointless most of the time but it is a genuinely fun hobby, which when combined with 3D modeling and post-processing skills becomes an actual craft. I didn’t get into it until a good number of people around me did.

Browser+jellyfin is easy then, but again you need to make sure you’re not using google play services. That shit calls home like crazy.

With how KDE treats Plasma and their whole dev philosophy of “If we don’t use/like something, than neither will you”

How does anyone confuse the KDE team for the Gnome foundation? How did you manage to pull that off?

Lol. Lmao even.

If it has google play services on it, at all, there is absolutely no privacy.

If you can manage to stick to an F-droid+Aurora+Obtainium setup (maybe with IzzyOndroid enabled in F-droid), you can probably pull off privacy, but in my experience there are at least three major streaming services ive encountered that refuse to run if Google Play Services aren’t running and you can’t pass the SafetyNet authenticity/security check thing (which raspberry pi is missing the firmware and hardware to be able to support.) Netflix being the biggest of them, I think Disney Plus has issues, and it’s been a while since I tried but either crunchyroll or hbo Max gave me a hard time.

That’s what I do. I have a bunch of .desktop files that just open Firefox in kiosk mode to whichever website I want, and a bunch of .PNG files to make them look like apps. I installed them system-wide.

I’m a pretty big KDE Stan but I decided to give Gnome a go since Plasma Bigscreen is virtually impossible to install for a normal user at the moment. Its not perfect but it gets the job done, and I love the basic parental controls it has. Still absolutely awful in terms of settings though.

An Airmouse is a gamechanger.

Its a TV-remote-style device that works like a Wii remote to control the mouse, usually has a keyboard on the backside, and connects to a USB 2.4ghz or Bluetooth receiver depending on the model you get.

I got a $20 Rii and a $10 other brand one to try out. Both are fine. I like the buttons on the Rii better but it has no backlight which sucks because I’m usually watching TV in bed at 9pm. The $10 one’s keyboard also responds faster so I can actually speed type.

“All I want for Christmas, is youUuuu!”

Wrong. This is operational security warfare. China, Russia, and every adversary should be holding the same attitude towards us if they’re worth their salt at protecting their internal national assets.

It doesn’t matter that its Chinese people by blood, its Team-U vs Team-C.

Now, the shitbags crying about this probably are doing it from ill-intentioned positions and are most definitely racist, but while their broad intentions are evil, this is one of those cliché “broken clock right twice a day” moments.

Its the pawussy!

Another fail on your part. Try again.

People who tell other people they’re not men deserve the Hague.

YOU are the problem.

Ridiculous, funny, and practical. My favorite combo.

You mean an actual dad being an actual dad and buying things that make him happy and encourage him to use them more?

Remind me how you aren’t the baby here?

I just wanna say, you are a cool person and don’t let the chuds here saying mean things about people who like this stuff get to you. They’re the insecure and fragile ones who can’t tolerate a tactical style bag making someone happy. Let the men have their fun, assholes!

There’s the door, see yourself out.

Bluey gang rise up

Bro its a funny meme diaper bag that makes memelords happy

What if he has these accessories because they make him happy? Would you be a judgemental shit-bag to him about it or just think cool dad for actively caring about his kid?

That’s cool as hell lol, I wish I had these when I needed them.

The meme potential alone would have me rocking them all day.
